All Icing and No Cake
Beautiful landscaping and almost hotel-like ambience. Carers at coal-face level are very pleasant in contrast to somewhat aloof management staff. Information about loved-one's wellbeing and/or careplan only reluctantly given.
A great hospital for those who are able to appreciate their surroundings - despite claims to cater for dementia-sufferers, our relative was unexpectedly deemed too noisy and we were forced to seek another hospital ASAP that could care for her.
